The Cork-Tipperary rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Cork and Tipperary, who first played each other in 1888. It is a rivalry that has existed since the very first provincial championship, however, it is less popular than its hurling counterpart.[1] Cork's home ground is Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Tipperary's home ground is Semple Stadium.
While Cork have 37 Munster titles and Tipperary are ranked one below in third position on the roll of honour, they have also enjoyed success in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, having won 11 championship titles between them to date.
